Tasmania > Australia > OceaniaMay 9, 2018 - 5.0They call it 99 Bends for good reason.
Whether you are on a sports bike, tourer or cruiser, you will love this amazing section of road.
Located on the Lyell Hwy between Queenstown and Gormanston, you will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and a fantastic session of approx 48 kms of curves on a mostly smooth road with a high grip surface.
You can take it slowly and enjoy the scenery or drop your knee onto the tarmac. Whichever you take it be careful of on coming vehicles who can encroach onto the wrong side of the white line on the tighter corners. The good news is most of the time there is little traffic to be seen.
To find the 99 Bends, plot a route between Queenstown and Derwent Bridge and you'll find the 99 Bends not far out from Queenstown.
The ride in/out of Queenstown will take you up and down a very steep rise that will surely challenge you in places with some very tight corners. The Derwent Bridge Hotel is a great start/end point and worth a visit for a refreshing beverage.
Recommendation: If you are riding Tasmania, then this ride has to be on the list.

Tasmania > Australia > OceaniaJanuary 13, 2017 - 5.0This 500km loop of stunning Tasmanian natural beauty and some amazing twisty riding. This route rises and falls, has great vistas and wonderful lake views.
Starting in Devonport takes in some of the fantastic natural views that Tasmania has to offer. Then head towards Elizabeth Town then Jackeys Marsh and the wonderfully twisty Great Lakes Road (a local favourite) which passes a large man-made reservoir. At the top of the Great Lakes Road there is a short unsealed section. Next we head west towards Derwent Bridge and Strahan on the stunning A10/B24. (If you prefer to shorten the route slightly, it is possible to head north to Tullah here from Queenstown) otherwise you can stop and visit the historic mining town of Zeehan.
From there follow the route to Cradle Mountain. The lookout there is a popular place for bikers to meet and have a chat, then follow more twisting beauty back to Devonport.

Tasmania > Australia > OceaniaDecember 20, 2016 - 4.0The pick of this ride is the Hellyer Gorge, A very, very twistie piece of road that destroys Rally cars and inattentive bike riders.
The only real drawback is it's prone to Moss in the winter even snow on occasions.

Tasmania > Australia > OceaniaDecember 20, 2016 - 5.0For those who like corners this a good ride, From the caves over the mountain down through the very, very tight twisties of Cethana gorge and the then out through the alpine forest past the Cradle Mt. turn-off and onto wide sweepers of Black Mountain through to the west coast highway
